Corbin Garden Club recognized

The Corbin Garden Club received national honors at the National Garden Club Convention in Denver, Colorado, which was held June 2–5. The Corbin club received top honors for their work to recognize National Garden Week in 2023.

To bring recognition to the work of both the National Garden Club and the local Corbin Garden Club, opportunities were provided to encourage pride in the community, involve the community, interest new members, and partner with other groups.

The Corbin Garden Club’s efforts were noted at the highest level as the Corbin Garden Club was the only club out of all 50 states and thousands of clubs to receive the Certificate of Merit along with a check for $100.

Carcille Burchette, South Atlantic Region Director for the National Garden Club and Corbin Garden Club past president, was ecstatic.

“I was shocked when I looked up and saw it announced on the big screen! We are thrilled to be recognized by the National Garden Club!” Burchette said.

The Corbin Garden Club wants to thank everyone for their part in the club receiving this award.

Not least are the businesses who participated in the flower deliveries, the Corbin Middle School Seventh Grade Science class, Corbin School of Innovation, individuals, who participated in events, City of Corbin, Corbin Tourism and Convention Commission, Downtown Corbin, and the Corbin Public Library to name a few.

“This award would not have been possible without them,” Corbin Garden Club officials wrote in a release.
